Quality/Quantity - We decide to go with the lunch specials, see menu and below: Frontera Ceviche - This was very different from what I expected. I was hoping for a bowl of ceviche and a basket of chips, see picture. Tortilla Soup - This was so much better than expected. And I am NOT a soup person. Carne Asada Brava $6 upcharge - Cooked perfectly, good flavors. Just enough for one person. Crispy Carnitas For Tacos - Deep fried can almost never go wrong! I am not a bean person either and this was also good! Baja fish for tacos - My least favorite of the entrees. The fish was underwhelming. I prefer a thinner lighter batter. Classic Flan - Classic, not good or bad. Chocolate Pecan Pie Bar - I am not a chocolate person, but this was good. The chocolate was NOT overpowering. Loved the texture and combination of it all. Cuatro Leches Cake - This was just okay. Atmosphere - Good size restaurant. Indoor/outdoor seating. Bar seating. Service - Good. Price - $125 which includes the 20% service charge. Our most expensive meal so far but also our new best so far. Owner Comment - Congrats on all your success since 1987. I used to watch your shows on Channel 9. I watched your daughter grow up on TV. Oh, and she was at the restaurant today. Also congrats on your 7+ restaurants. read more

I have returned to Frontera Grill with high expectations after a previous visit. I was not disappointed. The food and service was as good as before. read more

the food could have been made in a microwave for 1/20th of the time for the same quality. the tempature was -100 with no way to lower it with creepy pictures and bad music. sevice was fine. read more

Service is pretty strange. They'll clear your table of all utensils so your dinner gets delivered as you just watch it cool, and again they'll deliver boxes for leftovers while removing all utensils. If you set them far aside, they'll reach over you and take. Wasn't sure if it was some etiquette for each course and it's customary then to stand and ask for silverware to use for eating or packing your leftovers. Enchilada *drowning* in sauce. All you taste is spicy sauce. Not a hand dish. So odd. Desert came with a spoon however!!!! 20% gratuity included, so I guess they're eager. Ps. Was a Sunday 5pm not full; but i guess trying to push you out and have you use your hands is the idea as if it's all tacos. downhill service Oh and Michelin rated still - what!?!? Seems to have really pedestrian service now. Meat was tender (couldn't taste / but texture) since overwhelmed with cups of spicy sauce. Bizarre read more

I went to Frontera Grill for lunch with one of my girlfriends and we had a great time. We got the lunch special which is $32 and comes with a starter, entree and dessert. We sat out on the patio. For the starter I got the tortilla soup which was poured table side and really delicious. For the entree I got the crispy fish tacos. The fish was lightly battered and very flaky. They came deconstructed and with black beans , a slaw, crema and a flavorful sauce. It was a large portion. Finally for the dessert I had the Chocolate Pecan Pie which I really enjoyed. I don't always like pecan pie because it can be too sweet for me, but adding the dark chocolate really balanced the sweetness for me. Our waiter was very attentive and nice. I will for sure be back! read more

This is wonderful Mexican food. It doesn't feel "Americanized". From appetizers to desserts all delicious. And, there wasn't a pile of refried beans and rice on the side of every dish. We were there for the "Day of the Dead" celebration. So fun. Decorations and special dessert. I love this restaurant. Only negative-it's a little pricey. read more

Originally from the area, but haven't been in about 10 years so I was excited to come back and have Frontera again. Sat at the bar and service was attentive and friendly. Ambience is fine but looks kind of dated now - hasn't changed at all and it shows. Now I used to proclaim frontera had some of the best Mexican food I've ever tasted. Sadly, that is not the case anymore. I was very underwhelmed with how bland and lacking many things were. Seems like in an effort to cater to the masses, some flavors have been compromised. First with the drinks. My michelada and mezcal margarita were watery and over sweetened, respectively. I even asked if there was a way to turn up the heat on the margarita the following round, but no dice, sadly. The ceviche trio was also pretty underwhelming. Aguachiles way too sour and ate kind of monotonous. Highlights though were definitely the mole poblano and the pipian. Which, even then, were above average at best but not "memorable". Ironically, the older woman next to me was audibly complaining about the "spice" in the mole sauce (which, hello, mole is rich and uses a variety of spices). All that said, I can see why many of the foods/drinks have gotten so bland? Anyway, miss the old frontera that felt innovated and made such an impression. Related note, I tried bar sótano a different night and also felt the food was just ok. Really cool vibe though and service was amazing. Seems like maybe Rick is just doing too much now.? Idk lol read more

Service was great. Food was delicious. The tres leches, pecan chocolate pie and vanilla ice cream were perfection.

It was a delicious food and overall service experience at the Frontera Grill! The waiters were quite welcoming and the service was great! They have a good amount of vegetarian options, highly recommend this place!! We also saw Rick Bayless at the restaurant which was a a fun surprise! Fun way to kick off birthday week with their delicious dessert, we will definitely be back next time in the city! Muchas Gracias! read more

Food was very good. Various folks at our table sampled from different parts of the menu, including vegetarian options and steak tacos. No complaints there, although there was a debate at our table about the black molé. Some felt it did not have the punch of a great molé. Could it have been adjusted to appeal to more general tastes? Also, this restaurant is a local legend and on the Michelin Gourmand list, but dare we say it might be a bit too pricey? We did like the ambiance: more like a nice restaurant in Mexico City; wonderful art and a relaxed atmosphere. Need to also call out the service. We're all for relaxed service but the waiter disappeared for long stretches (they were packed on a weekday night) and at times we did feel abandoned. We were celebrating a birthday and other events and no notice was made of that, even though we had shared that when making reservations and with the hostesses. All that said, the quality of the food was very good. There were experimental dishes and drinks plus items we had never sampled before. We still had a wonderful time, even if everything wasn't perfect. read more

1sr of all, if you read a less than 5 star review on here, they lied and/or are just jealous. The food is beyond next level. Me and the hubby were astounded. The food is beautiful, artistic and super tasty. I equate the culinary experience with the Picasso that hangs at LACMA. It is a true work of art and an individual expression of happiness. A chef has put his heart and soul into the food with several years of experience, and it conveys. Guacamole- next level Carnitas- next level. Salsa- next level. Etc- next level. If you're in Chicago, and you're a foodie with a discerning palate- do it! This will be one of the times when I reflect back in life with a melodious smile and a memory of the Mexican version of Willy wonka; magical. Rick Bayless rocks! read more

We had dinner on a weeknight at Frontera Grill. I had heard such good things and have been wanting to go for a long time. We tried a lot of their staple dishes and just one of their rotating/new items. We started with the tortilla soup, tomales de elotes, and the individual appetizer sampler. Our favorite of the apps were the corn masa cheese quesadillas in the sampler. Great texture, really nice flavor. I got the tortilla soup because of all the positive Yelp reviews. I thought it was too salty. The tomales de elotes had nice texture and more muted flavor profile. If you're in the mood for elotes, I'd rec the corn on the cob. For mains we shared the Puebla-style enchiladas and trucha con Flores (seasonal trout). The enchiladas were good. The chicken was moist and the mole sauce was nice and flavorful - not too sweet or rich. I enjoyed it, despite not being a big fan of mole. I didn't love the trout. The wood-grilled char marks throughout had an overpowering flavor. My favorite dish of the meal was the chocolate pecan pie- it was delicious! I would definitely recommend it. The service was exceptional and everyone was very friendly and accommodating. The restaurant itself is nice and on the casual side. Everyone was dressed casually. All the food was nicely presented and the dishes were polished. Perhaps it fell short because t's just not preferred flavor-profile or maybe I didn't order well. I would consider trying Frontera again, but it is pricey, so I won't be prioritizing a second visit. read more

Frontera Grill - Puebla-style enchiladas - Mexican Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Such friendly staff with tasty food that has deep multi leveled flavor. The waiter was so friendly, been there 20 years, and explained everything and even went to look for chef Bayless for us, sadly he was out. Enchiladas Negra - seasonal item - slightly sweet enchiladas. I don't like beans and this bean sauce was so good. Suckling Pig - seasonal item - tender and juicy pork with crispy salad to give it texture. There are like 4 different layers of flavor that you get as you eat it, note each one. Cuatro Leches cake - 4 milks cake, There are so many texture and slight differences in flavors, the cake is soaked but still has a nice crumbly texture to it. Across the board, everything here lives up to the hype, the flavors are soo deep and if you take time to savor the food, you taste one layer after another of flavor. read more

One of Chicago's quintessential Mexican restaurants. Its conveniently located in a central part of the city and the praise heaped upon it and some of Bayless' other restaurants is well-deserved. read more

I really wanted to love this place but my high expectations got the best of me. Came here after a completely rude phone reservation and the impatient call taker handed the phone to someone else because they thought I couldn't speak English. We were greeted quickly and seated in a table near the bar. I think we saw our server a total of 20 seconds all night. While he was friendly, it was obvious that he was in a rush. I don't know why because it wasn't super busy when we came in. As for the food and drinks, I had the Tropical Fiesta Margarita and it was darn good. For appetizers, we went with the oysters and ceviche platter. There were 3 different oysters and two different ceviches and everything was amazing. For the main meal, I had the Crispy Duck Carnitas. I liked the crispy skin on the duck but it was a tad dry as we all sampled it. The tiny container of salsa was only filled a quarter of the way. The Puebla Style Enchiladas were phenomenal. I guess the stars were primarily for the food but people skills could use some polishing. It's always disappointing when you go to a celebrity chef restaurant and not catch a glimpse but that's a personal thing and I'm sure Chef Bayless is traveling to find his next inspiration. read more

Excited to come to Frontera Grill when I was in town but was definitely disappointed. Feels very 2020 inside, bar and bar area seating is extremely limited. They have the bar sectioned off for social distancing still with only 6 total bar stools that you have to see the hostess to even sit at. I ended up sitting at a small table in the main dining room that was on an uneven floor so it felt like I was leaning over! Overall service wasn't bad, food was good but nothing that I have to go back for. read more

We ate at Topolobampo on a Saturday night and decided to come back to Frontera grill for brunch on Sunday morning. Normally this place is very busy and tough to get into, but it was pouring rain when we walked up so we lucked into an open outside space under the awning. The service was incredible, and it was actually quite lovely outside in the rain. The inside of the restaurant is also beautiful, great music, and cultural elements of Mexico on display. My husband had the Bajio-style eggs, and I had the Frontera hot cakes. We both absolutely loved our meals, they were the perfect size serving. We will definitely come back in the future- it was a unique breakfast that we can't find much out in the suburbs. read more

Wow. What a difference 5 years makes. Long time fan who made Frontera a top priority stop when in Chicago since the early days. Work brings me back to the area finally and sitting here at my table hoping I get a 2nd beer or maybe even my entree. I just want to leave. Tasteless stuff that reads well but old Rick must be soaking up the sun in Mauritius. Staff is still friendly but seriously just want to pay and leave. So sad to lose an my old favorite but often time you just cant go back. Check please! read more

This is Rick Bayless' restaurant that started it all (in 1987). Reservations can be difficult to secure so plan ahead. I'm a firm believer in Mexican Cuisine + Margaritas. The Margs are great and there's an extensive list to choose from. Guacamole is everywhere, and somewhat simple to make.... However, this might have been the best guac I've ever had. Perfectly balanced. read more

Frontera Grill has been opened for 36 years, so after my first meal here, what can I tell you that hasn't been written? I can only tell you about my experience, which was great. After a recommendation from the friendly hostess, I sat at the chef's counter, and had a close up view of the hustle and bustle and did my best not to drool over the numerous tempting dishes coming out of the kitchen. Aside from seeing the food, I was able to sense how well staffed the restaurant was, how they worked in unison together, and how upbeat they were despite the pressure of satisfying a packed house. I started with a Topolo Margarita and the Individual Appetizer Sampler, which was a really perfectly sized starter with four appetizers - each about 3-4 bites just to really get you salivating. My favorite was the tuna ceviche, which was cool and spicy. Next I had the Tinga de Cochinita, which was a plentiful portion of super lean, yet very tender suckling piggy. Unlike the fatty mouth feel you get from pulled pork or most carnitas, this pork somehow seemed light. So much so, that perhaps it could have used more of the crispy potatoes or chorizo that were listed as ingredients in the dish, but were very subtle. I devoured it, so no complaints, but note this is not really a "complete entree." It is a plate of sauces meat served with wonderful tortillas, but probably best for sharing with some veggies and sides. I won't wait another 36 years for my next meal at Frontera...like, I might be back in 36 hours. Yum! read more

I've been to a variety of Rick Bayless restaurants, including at O'Hare and Disney Springs. This one just missed the mark.... Nothing egregiously terrible, but also nothing spectacular. Made a Resy weeks in advance and noted a birthday special occasion. The restaurant seemed sorely understaffed the week after Christmas-- completely understandable given the current workforce status. Our service was pleasant, but minimal. No greeting, no explanation of drinks or menu, no recommendations-- just straight and to the point. I should note, they add a 20% living wage to the bill, so maybe this explains the lack of service? The food was just okay. I remember the salsas and accoutrements being so much more flavorful and spicy. Sadly, they also only do the Cochinita pibil on the weekend. The $15 guac was tasty, but not worth the price tag for the heaping ice cream scoop serving. Honestly, the airport Frontera guac is better. At the end of service, my hubby had to go track down a member of the staff to see if they could do a birthday dessert for our party, although I had specifically noted it in the Resy. $300 later, it was just okay. I did get a signed cookbook on my way out. read more

Had lunch there on Saturday. The restaurant serves brunch and lunch on weekends. I tried the Huevos Rancheros and their Enchiladas De Puerco. Both dishes were fantastic! It was my first time to try Huevos Rancheros. Delicious and packed with nutrition. The eggs were a bit raw but I like that, as it blended very well with the warm tortillas below it which were stuffed with black beans. Also, its colorful appearance greatly boosted my mood and energy on that day! For the enchilada dish, I enjoyed the tender, juicy pork inside it very much, as well as the spicy (but not too spicy) chile-tomato sauce. The enchiladas were also topped with lots of fried onions which I did not eat (I do not have fried foods) but they did make the dish more eye-attracting and I guess others would enjoy it. Service was quick and nice. I asked the stuff to have Huevos Rancheros first and just when I almost finished it, he gave me the other one. Another thing is that in this restuarant you can find lots of interesting stories about the chief Rick Bayless, including his photos and daily routine. In general, it was an impressive dining experience. Will definitely come back again; I still want to try other dishes like Trio of Carnes and shrimp soup. read more

Frontera Grill was good. The oxacan carne asada was good, although it was something that I would crave. The chicken tortilla soup was very good with fresh tortillas and the broth poured over at the table. The chicken taquitos were good, although you are only served 2 taquitos. Overall the food is good, although pricey. And then they tack on a 20% service charge to pay their staff and then want a tip on top of that. It makes the experience very expensive and not worth a return visit. Especially coming from Southern California where there is food that is just as good and sometimes better at a fraction of the cost. read more

Had a very mediocre experience for brunch. I have been before for lunch or dinner but always in nice weather so we've always sat on the patio. In December, we sat inside and I never realized how run down and bland the interior of Frontera is. It reminds me of the most generic Mexican restaurant and frankly it's in a bit of a state of disrepair. The vibe was just not there at 10:45 for brunch. However none of this would be much of an issue if the prices weren't so outrageous. 3 appetizers for 4 people consisted of 6 small "quesadillas" which were more like teeny empanadas and 3 taquitos halved came to $42. Every lunch entree we had was around $21 and while everything was tasty, it just felt like something you'd get in a neighborhood joint only with a jacked up price. The service was fine but indifferent, and overall I just wondered why we bothered spending $192 on brunch for 4 people (that's one single cocktail in there, btw) when it was so mediocre. Every other experience I've had here has been unmemorable with slow service but good (albeit overpriced) food, swayed slightly in a positive direction by the nice patio. I'd say skip except maybe for a drink and snack on the patio on a nice day. read more

Chicago Restaurant Week 2023! Lunch special - looks to be the same menu as dinner but for less! Frontera Grill, one of the OG establishments from Rick Bayless does not disappoint. All the food options were delicious. We also asked for a side of salsas. Habeñero had a good kick, but if too much heat isn't your thing the red and green are amazing as well for the smoky, chili flavors. Entrees for protein, chicken grilled sitting on top of mole or steak are both very good options. I really enjoyed the steak, medium rare was perfectly cooked, cut with a butter knife. We also had a complimentary side of fresh, warm tortillas to go with lunch. Nicely portion as well. Note that 20% service charge is not same as tip, kinda confusing, but we tipped again. This seems to be a normal thing even on their regular menu. Dessert, both are good, just a matter of preference. Cake is light sweet and the torched meringue.. so good. Pecan is rich, filling chocolate. read more

Visiting Chicago during the National Restaurant Show. Our group went to Frontera Grill for the 1st time and it didn't disappoint. The food was excellent overall. The classic Frontera ceviche was so refreshing and the trio ceviche offered different seafood spice levels and taste. Service was very good but there was a gap in time between appetizers and main entree dishes. We were a big party of 12 so it didn't bother us too much. The champagne margarita was an interesting twist and as a champagne drinker I don't think I cared for the mash up between the 2 drinks but that's just personal preference. I ordered the skirt steak tacos with the homemade tortillas and beans. The skirt steak was marinated, tender and had great flavor. The beans were some of the better beans I've had in awhile. Finally, we ordered several desserts to share and my favorite was the coconut horchata cake. Overall 4.5 read more

Stopped by here for a quick drink with friends before going to another bar. Dinner wasn't open yet and we just wanted to hang out, so this review is based off of our bar experience. Service and staff: - The bartender that served us was very nice and funny - There's a good number of bar seats for a small group (can definitely see this area getting packed) Food and drinks: - We ordered a margarita with a tajin rim, a soda, and a beer - The bar doesn't serve food (at least during the time we were there) other than chips and guac. The chips and guac were good though Miscellaneous: - Outdoor seating, indoor seating, and indoor bar seating available - Not sure if they take reservations, but there was already a line for dinner by the time we left and that side of the restaurant wasn't even open yet. Definitely come early if you want to dine here! read more

Delicious food, great customer service. Another list spot marked off! Just walked back to the hotel, which was not far enough to digest the meal! Sooooo full! From the Mexican Hot Chocolate to the end of our meal, everything was quite tasty! We wanted to try several desserts, but unfortunately, no room, not even for ice cream - all crevices were full from melted cheese, homemade tortillas, tortilla chips, yummy grilled meat, and oh yes, salad.... We are healthy after all! I had the chicken taquitos, which after one bite will say, they're the best taquitos I've eaten to date. Light, crispy, delicious. With just under 140 list spots to try in Chicago, and several trip must stops/list repeats (Chicago Pizza and Oven Grinder + any Stephanie Izard restaurant), finding another great spot is making list completion that much harder, but I'm up for the challenge! read more

I'm not used to the soups ranked high on the menu. One of them is a miso soup topped with cheese and vegetables. I'm also not quite accustomed to the sauce of the staple food, but the beef and chicken are tender. The desserts, "cuatro" and "chocolate bar", are delicious. The former has a moist and soft cake base, paired with almonds and cream. The latter has a hard cake base with nuts, and it's very fragrant. The environment is delightful, with lively music playing and paintings featuring bright colors. read more

I had just arrived in Chicago and dropped off my luggage at the hotel and I was hungry. I decided to go to Kimski. Arrived there only to find that it didn't open until 5:00 pm, so I decided to go somewhere else. Frontera Grill was that place. It was 11:30ish on a Wednesday when I arrived. I had no reservation upon walking in and was seated immediately. The restaurant was moderately filled but not crowded. I was in a party of four and the seating did feel a little close but not too bad. Regional Mexican and other Latin music was being played. The waiters were very professional and polite. They were very attentive and repeatedly asked to help or explained items on the menu. Several different plates were ordered and while I cannot say anything in particular stood out to me, everything was good. Being from Texas, it's tough to find good authentic Mexican food that measures up. I know Chicago does have a well deserved rich culinarily legacy when it comes to Mexican food but nothing on the menu blew me away although the presentation was impeccable and impressive. As the meal went on, the drinks were flowing and pretty soon the restaurant was packed. Our waiters never stopped checking on our table. The service was excellent! Overall, the food was good, presentation was incredible and the service was awesome! Frontera Grill is definitely worth a try. read more

We visited Frontera on Saturday, July 19 at 6:00 PM. Food: We ordered chips and guac, queso fundido, carne asada, and chocolate pecan pie, as well as several cocktails. -Chips and guac: good; guac was great but chips were mostly broken/crumbs -Queso fundido: disappointing; food arrived cold -Carne asada: good; ordered medium and arrived medium rare. Sides were excellent -Chocolate pecan pie: excellent and surprisingly light crust -Cocktails: good; nothing to be disappointed about. Tableside margs was a fun concept Service: I am not sure if this was an off night, but there was only one server for the entire dining room (seven tables). We waited 15 minutes before being greeted, and when the waiter arrived, he just asked if we were ready to order. No "welcome," or explanation of the menu. We later asked if he had any suggestion as to how to approach the menu or how many plates would be reasonable, and his answer was: "it depends." He wasn't attentive or helpful, although we suspect they may have been short-staffed. We definitely felt rushed and like staff just wanted the shift to end. Atmosphere: Warm and inviting. Fun decor and music; tableside margs and added to the ambience. A bit confusing, as the host stand is shared with Topolobambo and diners from Bar Sotano walked through the dining room. TLDR: I can't say I would recommend it based on our food and service, but I also wouldn't steer people away. Overall, disappointed based on Rick Bayless's reputation. read more

I've been wanting to try this restaurant since I saw Rick Bayless win Top Chef Masters. Definitely did not disappoint. We came here on a weekend, when they happened to be serving brunch. Got the huevos rancheros. The eggs, black beans, and sauce were perfectly layered on top of tortillas, so got a little bit of everything with each bite. Even loved the dressing for the side of salad. My husband enjoyed his chilaquiles also. My kid got their carnitas tacos. Simple, but both my husband and kid thought it was delicious. My other kid ordered a cheese quesadilla off the kid's menu and didn't like the cheese they used. I thought it tasted okay, but was too oily. Ended our meals with the coconut tres leches cake, which was also fantastic. read more

SIMPLY AMAZING. Frontera is serving authentic Mexican fare in the heart of Chicago and I love it! My husband and I were traveling and didn't want a fast lunch, we wanted to linger and enjoy our meal and Frontera Grill did not disappoint. We were greeted by the hostess and waited about 10-minutes, it was the height of lunch so we expected to wait. There is a bar on the backside of the dining area, so you can grab a cocktail and hang out until your table is ready. Upon being seated were greeted by our server, I wish I remembered his name...he was amazing, giving details about each dish, making recommendations on drink specials and was fresh in season. I started with the ceviche and it was amazing, so fresh and authentic. I loved the presentation, I mean we eat with our eyes right! We dove into the chips and salsa, spicy with a tang of lime, just how I like it. My husband ordered chicken tacos, the meat was full of flavor and the tortillas were made to order. AND my favorite part, the plantains and flan. I could order the two as my meal, the plantains were sweet and grilled perfectly and the flan was straight out of aubela's kitchen. To end my meal I opted for a mexican hot chocolate...I know it should have been a margarita, but it was hand shaved chocolate with steeped whole milk (I typically do not consume dairy, but today was a good day)! So the next time you find yourself in Chicago, go past the burger and pizza shops and head to Frontera for an authentic meal with great charm and a friendly staff. read more

With a reservation in hand we ate here on a Sunday evening. It was quite busy which was not a surprise. We have been fans of this restaurant but it has been quite some time since we were here given we do not live locally. Our waiter was very helpful and friendly. I tried one of their beer cocktails which was very refreshing - I really liked it. We started with their sampler plate with an empanada, guacamole, ceviche, and a taquito. The empanadas and guac were the best. We had a side of Brussel sprouts - very good for Brussel sprouts! My wife ordered the mushroom tacos which she liked a lot. I had the enchiladas which were very good. Still good after all of these years. read more
